Using Drupal and Domain Access to Manage Multiple Websites

Many of our clients struggle to manage multiple websites or domains effectively. Specifically, companies with a global presence or diverse product lines often face this hurdle. Managing separate installations for different sites is a time-consuming obstacle.

Fortunately, several platforms allow you to handle multiple sites within one installation. These include: Drupal, DotNetNuke, SimpleCMS, WordPress, MovableType, Umbraco and Joomla 

By using these tools, you can streamline your workflow significantly. Below is a real-world example of how we helped a client solve this exact problem.

 All Access, Inc. is an international company with offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, and Sydney. Initially, each country managed its own web hosting and marketing approach. This led to a fragmented brand experience. Consequently, the company wanted a centralized way to manage both local and global content.

The client needed a system where visitors could choose a country-specific site. However, each site had to maintain a consistent look and feel. To achieve this, Spry Digital built the All Access website on Drupal using a customized theme.

We implemented the Domain Access module to give the client country-specific portals. Additionally, we created a custom landing page for the main domain. This allows for easy navigation across all regions.

The Domain Access module solved the problem perfectly. Specifically, it allowed each domain to have its own navigation while sharing global content from Los Angeles. As a result, the client minimized their workload and unified their brand.

Managing content is challenging enough on its own. Therefore, using a CMS like Drupal is a great way to simplify the process. Contact us today to help your Drupal site reach its full potential.
